The film begins in Udayapura, Bengaluru the same constituency from which an honest politician Sujjan Rao contested for the M. L. A. post eventually becoming the people's favourite Chief Minister.
Pradeep was earlier posted as the Circle Inspector in the regional police station until he was trapped in a custodial murder case by Palaksha and got a punishment transfer.
Meanwhile, the people of Udayapura and Shantipura calls for a bandh after the government fails to take the right steps against alcohol production in the state and asks Sujjan's tutor and freedom fighter Narayan to lead them.
Dalapathy who is hospitalised in a hospital in Mysuru orders his henchmen to manipulate two jobless youngsters, Subbu and Seenu, to help them turn the peaceful bandh into a violent one.
